You are a police officer examining the scene of a car crash that claimed the life of someone driving a Tesla. There was a collision involving them and a pickup truck. The truck driver, who survived, said he was travelling North into the intersection and the Tesla was travelling East into the intersection. The truck driver claims that he was not exceeding the speed limit when the accident occurred. You note the posted speed limit was 80 km/h. Like airplanes, Teslas have a black box that records various statistics in the event a collision occurs. After analyzing the data from the black box, you discover the Tesla was driving at a velocity of 65.8 km/h [E] when the collision occurred. You google the mass of both of the vehicles and find the Tesla should be about 2250 kg and the truck should be about 2930 kg. During the collision, the two vehicles crumpled and became entangled, the skid marks revealing that the two vehicles travelled E 56° N after impact. How fast, in km/h, was the truck actually driving at the moment of impact? W 0

Jane is driving down the road at 20.0 m/s looking for a house address. when she sees the house, she slams on her brakes. If her reaction time is 1.20s and her car deaccelerates at 3.50 m/s^2, how far past the point where she first saw the house did her car come to rest? I feel like I need to use one of the 4 kinematics equations, but none seem to be giving me the correct answer when I plug in my numbers :(

A world’s land speed record was set by Colonel John P. Stapp when in March 1954 he rode a rocket-propelled sled that moved along a track at 1020 km/h. He and the sled were brought to a stop in 1.4 s. In terms of g, what acceleration did he experience while stopping?
Michael, the regional manager of a mid-sized paper company innortheastern Pennsylvania, must drive to The Office every day for work.During his morning commute, he drives an average of 25 mph due East for15 minutes to exit his neighborhood, then turns 45o N of E onto I-81, wherehe drives at 70 mph for 5 more minutes.

Driving along a crowded freeway, you notice that it takes atime t to go from one mile marker to the next. When you increaseyour speed by 7.9 mi>h, the time to go one mile decreases by 13 s.What was your original speed?
A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of thewater at a velocity of 13.0 m/s. (a) List the knowns in thisproblem. (b) How high does his body rise above the water?To solve this part, first note that the final velocity is now aknown and identify its value. Then identify the unknown, anddiscuss how you chose the appropriate equation to solve forit. After choosing the equation, show your steps in solving forthe unknown, checking units, and discuss whether the answeris reasonable. (c) How long is the dolphin in the air? Neglectany effects due to his size or orientation

Dr. John Paul Stapp was a U.S. Air Force officer who studied the effects of extreme deceleration on the human body. On December 10, 1954, Stapp rode a rocket sled, accelerating from rest to a top speed of 282 m/s (1015 km/h) in 5.00 s, and was brought jarringly back to rest in only 1.40 s!Calculate the magnitude of his average acceleration during the first part of his motion. Express your answer in multiples of g by taking its ratio to 9.80 m/s2. calculate the magnitude his average deceleration during the second part of his motion. Express your answer in multiples of g by taking its ratio to 9.80 m/s2.
